Eligibility Requirements

You must be 18 years of age and have the right to work within the United States.

The project must not have had a professional production, or be scheduled to have a professional production, prior to August 2018. A professional production means that the artists working on the show were compensated for their time, and that all of the theatrical elements one hopes to see in a production were present.

You may submit original or adapted work, providing that the rights to any material not in the public domain have been granted in writing, and a copy of the release is sent along with the application materials.

Only complete applications will be accepted, whether in hard copy or electronic form.
